Hello everyone! Started Monday nicely mai ka?
These past weeks, I've heard several terms that my generation...in fact many in this group are in BB ka:))..... should see how the trend goes.
Two terms are what I'd like to touch on first ka:
The first is 'Gig workers', which seems to be synonymously used with freelancers in our country. Now, I understand better how it's a little different from 'freelancers', from a podcast entitled, 'Single Being' ep 156, shared by two co-founders of Talance, a tech company that has got a pool of freelance developers ka.
Gig is a slang meaning work. It started with Jazz bands who performed briefly here and there. Gig workers get to work through digital platforms like Grab, content creators, etc. so there’s no need to try to look for customers so they can choose if they want to do it or not.
On the other hand, freelancers have to find their own customers and manage funding all by themselves. They are owners of their ‘business’.
In any case, both tracks need people with disciplines in order to have enough earnings as wished ka.
The second is, ‘F-I-R-E’, which stands for “Financial Independence, Retire Early.” I got the description from ramseysolutions.com which reads as follows:
The goal is to save and invest aggressively—somewhere between 50–75% of your income—so you can retire sometime in your 30s or 40s. That's right: You need to save at least half of your income just to have a chance to make this happen.
Kids these days love to determine their own lives so from listening to the podcast episode about ‘Gig workers and Freelancers’, and The Secret Sauce ep#351 make me think that some kids will work like crazy in some different forms from our time…definitely with more than one job.
I thought of one American Fulbright alum who holds one full-time job and has about 2-3 other part time jobs ka….frightening to me. The person still told me more would be needed for the family to be stable! OMG!
Freedom and flexibility are what our younger ones go after. I only hope and pray that their hard work and smart investment to retire at the ages of 30-40 means they are still fit enough to enjoy their retirement as they must think and plan carefully how they want to spend it in a sabai yet fulfilling way na ka.
